What a Great Weekend!

On Saturday morning we went to a nursery to get some great plants and trees so we can make our own garden and have plentiful fruits and vegetables:) Here are some pics of the morning!




Lizzy decided that she was Queen of the Nursery and made me the peasant girl who had to pull the heavy load of trees. I mean...it wasn't heavy at all, I'm pretty much Wonder Woman, so of course it was a piece of cake:)


You know, you'd think that being a tree hugger would please the trees, and make them happy, but this one just kept on poking me!



After all the hard work, I decided it would be wise to take a nice drink out of the magical fountain.




After we bought our load of new bushes and trees, I looked at some seeds. My garden is going to be ROCKIN'!

Alas, sophomore year has come to an end. With all of the soul eating stresses of finals week being over, I now feel like I can just sit and relax, and, oh, what a beautiful, beautiful thought that is!

It's as though my eyes have been opened to a whole other side of life. Reading is now a pleasure, each turn of the page striking curiosity as to what is coming next rather than for the reason being to merely finish the book for yet another awful assignment. Closing my eyes at night, having those sweet, "sugar plum" dreams, and waking up with a smile, ready to take on the great adventures of SUMMER 2009!

I couldn't tell you for sure what all of these adventures will entail, but they will likely be filled with 110% of that amazing spontaneous spontinuity that comes with being around those I get to call my friends. Though school has only been out for a couple of days, some of these adventures have already come to pass! I got to take a trip out to the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove to go frisbee golfing, where I didn't do too shabby, if I do say so myself:) But I did get hit in the leg by another malicious player, and I now have a nice little bruise.
I also went and played some baseball at Jackson Elementary, where I was reminded of why I don't play many sports other than lacrosse. Just watch the video and you'll see how incredibly athletically challenged almost all of us were:)


Along with the fun I plan to have, I am looking forward to accomplishing many goals this summer. I plan on making my very first quilt, reading plenty of books, keeping a garden, plentiful of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, going running for XC, working to earn myself some mula, finally getting my license, and learning how to decorate cakes with my mom!

As you can see, none of these include my sister, Elizabeth, as she will be leaving us all to live in Montana for the summer. Honestly, I have no idea what I will do. The dreams that I had to drive recklessly around town with windows down, and music blaring, have been ruined, shattered to pieces, all thanks to that little twerp of a girl. I will definitely miss her!

So since Lizzy has helped me to make a cute new page, I plan on logging in more often and keeping you all informed of all of the fun I have as it comes! For now, it's au revoir!

Lizzy Is In Control!

Sarah will kill me. I am helping her change all her passwords and usernames but I decided that before I end I should have a little fun. Now I am going to write a blog entry for her.

Hey everybody, Lizzy is the bestest sister ever. She is so nice to me and I will miss her when she is gone this summer. That's all I have to say.
